Heh, you said it better than I. I was just about to reply with the witty "Nutch is Lucene, isn't it?"

A truck is a vehicle tht does stuff, and it gets it's power from a Combustion Engine, but the engine itself could actually be used to power a great many other things (not just vehicles) Lucene is a Java IR Library or a "search library" if you will -- Nutch uses the Lucene library to power the searching it does, but there is a lot of other stuff going on in Butch (crawling for example) ... if you wnat a "search engine" then Nutch is your man, if you want a "search library" then use Lucene directly. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
